It is the first time Russian forces have struck the country's capital in weeks.Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow will hit new targets if the West supplies Ukraine with long-range missiles, hours after several explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
Ukraine has asked for ever more potent arms and its deputy defence minister stressed Sunday this support was needed until Russia was defeated. One person was wounded, and reporters from news agency AFP saw several buildings with blown-out windows near one of the sites that was targeted. Russian forces have been making slow but steady advances in the region in recent weeks after being beaten back of retreating from other parts of the country, including Kyiv.
"We are currently doing everything necessary to re-establish total control" of the city, he said in an interview broadcast on Telegram.
